I don’t agree with canadian oilmen’s politics generally but I defend their (and everyone’s) right to protest loudly about whatever grievances they may have.

AvE is ok in my book. His channel is more posturing and fluff and in-jokes than useful content, but supporting legitimate political protests (even if you don’t share their political views) isn’t cancel-worthy.



The ottowa truck convoy went well past reasonable protesting into being a public nuisance.


Protests that aren’t a nuisance aren’t really effective protests.


Would YOU have been happy with one of the trucks parked outside your home idling and honking for weeks? I strongly doubt it.
